Banana Cake

Life handed me 3 over ripe bananas yesterday and I decided to make banana cake. Its pretty similar to banana bread, just a little less dense. The recipe also calls for cream cheese frosting which I decided to leave off. However, the recipe for the frosting is below.

One of Layla's favorite foods are bananas. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I ate a banana everyday when I was pregnant? An over ripe banana makes for perfect baby food. It is also one of the easier foods because it doesn't require any cooking.

If you would like to make the banana cake and banana baby food, you will need 4 ripe bananas. Add all the bananas to a stand mixer and mix on low speed until pureed. Scoop out 1/2 cup for baby and leave the rest for the cake.

Mix the cream cheese, butter and vanilla on low speed until just combined. Add in sugar and mix until smooth.

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I plan to. When I do, I am going to put a nice warm slice in a bowl, and pour some milk over it and eat it with a spoon. A delicious trick I learned from some cousins of mine in Chicago. Doesn't sound great, but try it. It's absolutely delish!!
